The next morning, Rudra woke up and saw her decorating the temple and arranging the materials for prayer. His heart was pounding frantically because this was the first time he was experiencing something like this.The whole house was filled with soothing smells. She was fasting for him. She would not eat or drink, and it was all for him.Rudra was gazing at her, who looked very beautiful in a blue saree. Her glowing face was drawing him closer, and then he remembered she was fasting completely—no food, no water for the entire day and night.Shakti looked at him and said, "I cooked breakfast for you."Rudra shook his head and replied, "I'm fasting with you."She arched her brows at him."Are you sure?" she asked, and he nodded."I can manage myself. I'm more worried about you and your health," Rudra replied, and her heart skipped a beat."Don't worry. I'll be fine," Shakti said as she arranged the temple properly for the Teej festival."Go take a shower and don't forget about my blouse
"You are the kindest thing That ever happened to me, Even if that isn't How our tale is told. When everyone else told me I was Destined to be a forgotten nymph That nurtured flowers and turned Meadows gold, You saw that the ichor that resides in me Demanded its own throne. You showed me how a love like ours Can turn even the darkest, coldest realm Into the happiest of HOME."Persephone to Hades .. ..**Unknown Person's POV:**He has gotta have a weakness because everybody has a weakness. This time, I am in the shadows, but my eyes are on them.Them – HADES AND BEAST...Let's see for how many days, for how many years, they'll be able to protect their little worlds from me.HADES got his PERSEPHONE.BEAST is already living in the world with his BEAUTY...Interesting, very interesting, but I'll wait. I'll wait for the right time, and then I'll crush their worlds, their happiness, their hearts.I laughed evilly and stared at the pictures of their women
"He REJECTED me," Shakti said, biting her lips to control her sobs.Piyali immediately engulfed her in a motherly embrace. Yudhishthir and Yuvaan looked at Yuvraaj, who was blazing with anger."He dared to reject you," Yuvraaj was furious at his son."Uncle, don't think too much. Everything will be fine. Your health will suffer," Yudhishthir said to Yuvraaj."Your Highness," a male attendant knocked on the door, and they stopped and looked at him."The Crown Prince isn't listening to us," the male attendant said as he stood by for the next order.Yudhishthir closed his eyes as he thought of his son Abhimanyu, the Crown Prince of Gadh."Tell him to go to his room right now; otherwise, I'll marry him off right now, today," Yudhishthir said in his kingly tone, and the servant shivered badly and went away."He is a child, Yudy. Leave him," Yuvaan said and shook his head."He is the future King, the Crown Prince of our Gadh, but his actions always give me a headache," Yudhishthir said in hi
**Flashback after the conversation between Piyali and Shakti, and before Rudra's arrival...**"Why are you smiling, Piyali?" Yuvraaj asked, confused to see her smiling while reading a patient's medical file."Our kids are nuts. That's why I'm smiling," Piyali said, closing the medical file."Huh?" Yuvraaj was puzzled and frowned deeply."Neil and Rudra are both exactly like you in nature and behavior," Piyali said. Yuvraaj raised his eyebrows questioningly, and she smiled at him."Nothing! It's just that they're very difficult to deal with," Piyali explained."So you're saying that I'm very difficult to deal with, huh?" Yuvraaj asked, amused. Piyali shook her head."It's not like that, but it's true that you're not a simple man either. Rudra is a carbon copy of you, and Neil's mind works like yours, but he inherited my looks, especially my deep hazel eyes," Piyali said as she arranged the medical files. Yuvraaj watched her closely."But I must say, Neil has Piyush's heart, which beats
[Last chapter continued]Rudra wanted her bright smile to be only for him. His head was spinning at the sight that made him want to kill Ervin."She is mine"."Only mine"."My wife"."My Kore".Hades lost his senses and growled loudly at them.They called him Hades, and right now, his darkness had awoken."Kore!", he seethed with anger. He growled loudly at her, and she was startled by his sudden appearance.Shakti turned around, and her bright mixed brown eyes, with a tint of black, looked at him.*Him.* Her husband was standing in front of her, his face red and his body shaking with anger.Shakti saw his dark side for the first time and gulped nervously."Her body is made for me. Only for me. She will only be in my arms," Rudra's mind was chanting these words repeatedly.Rudra's eyes ranked over her appearance, and his heart skipped a beat. His heart swelled with happiness when he saw her in Indian Rajasthani attire—a pink long skirt with a green blouse and a heavy blue veil covering
Rudra kissed her as if her lips were made of flowers and his lips were only made to suck hers. He was making her aware that she was his. His wife. She belonged to him.Shakti cried, but Rudra was busy sucking and biting her lips.Rudra was lost in kissing her, devouring her lips. He kissed her as if her lips were made for him. His kisses were passionate and intense. He was making her aware that she was his. His wife. She belonged to him. Shakti cried, but Rudra was busy sucking and biting her lips. He crushed her soft feminine body with his enormous frame. Her body started to ache, but Rudra was too lost to hear her sobbing.Then something happened, and Rudra stopped smashing her lips. He breathed heavily and stared into her tear-filled eyes, watching the drops roll down her cheeks. His senses returned as if a heavy stone had struck his brain. He controlled his uneven breathings as he looked at her. “I... I... I’m so... sorry,” Rudra stammered, climbing off her body and standing in
It was evening, and both Shakti and Piyali were in the kitchen. All the kitchen staff and attendants were silently doing their work in the Royal Kitchen, watching the princes' consorts making dinner for their family.Shakti was making curry, and Piyali was observing her and noticed her shivering."Shakti, my child! Are you fine?" Piyali asked and touched her forehead. Shakti's temperature was high, and her body was warm."I'm fine, Maa," Shakti said, and all the staff looked at her, who had been working and helping others since morning."No! You aren’t fine. You have a fever. Go and rest," Piyali said to her."No, I’m really fine, Maa. Aashmaan wanted to eat this dish, so I’m preparing it for her," Shakti replied."I thought they wouldn’t come, but Aashmaan made him come here," Piyali said."Hmm! I’m happy that brother Neil finally got some time for Aashmaan. Otherwise, he is busy with business, and Arjun is hell-bent on managing four little beasts," Shakti said, and they laughed.(Aas
[last chapter continued]Shakti immediately woke up, ran out of her room, and found it empty. She entered the kitchen and saw Piyali busy giving instructions to the servants."Maa!" Shakti called. Piyali turned around and looked at her."Oh, son! How are you feeling now?" Piyali asked, touching her forehead."I'm good, but where is everyone?" Shakti asked."They are busy with their work, and Rudra is with Abhimanyu in his room. Lovely isn’t leaving the kitchen," Piyali said, pointing at Lovely, who was stirring something in the wok."Where are Brother Neil and Aashmaan?" Shakti asked."They're not coming due to some official work," Piyali said. Shakti nodded."Go and call everyone for dinner," Piyali ordered one of the servants."Let’s go to the table," Piyali said, and they moved out of the kitchen. Lovely soon followed, putting a hot bowl on the table before sitting down.Piyali watched Lovely closely."Lovely, that seat is for Shakti, Rudra’s wife, and you aren’t his wife, so please
